Disclaimer
We wish to show you the best diving possible; however, a number of factors determine which route the Cruise Director and Captain will choose and which dive sites we visit. Weather conditions, tides, currents and the number of other dive vessels at a particular site all play a part in where the boat is heading to. While we attempt to ensure the number of dives we have scheduled is fulfilled, bad weather can hinder the yacht’s ability to reach a specific dive site in our scheduled time. The safety of all on board is paramount and we always do our best to offer diving at alternative sites, should we be unable to visit the sites listed below.

● 06:00 Wake-up call

Trip Overview
Venture beyond the map on a 9-day expedition to the "Forgotten Islands" (Kepulauan Tenggara), one of Indonesia's last true frontiers. This remote archipelago, stretching southeast of the Banda Sea, remains shrouded in mystery, its pristine ecosystems untouched by mass tourism. Our journey begins in Ambon and plunges directly into this isolated world, where traditional villages cling to ancient ways of life, and the reefs thrive in spectacular isolation. We'll dive virgin walls teeming with fish, explore islands rarely visited by outsiders, and feel the raw power of the open ocean. This is not just a dive trip; it's a genuine exploration for adventurers seeking to write their own chapter in the story of one of the world's last undiscovered marine wildernesses.
What to Expect
True Exploration & Seclusion: Dive sites that see perhaps a handful of visitors each year, offering a profound sense of discovery and untouched beauty.
Pristine Coral Reefs & Walls: Experience reef ecosystems in their most virgin state, with spectacular coral health, immense fish biomass, and a high likelihood of shark encounters.

Unique Cultural Immersion: Visit traditional villages in the Sermata and Babar island groups, witnessing cultures that have remained largely unchanged for centuries.
A Journey Through Isolation: Traverse a chain of remote islands, each with its own unique character and underwater landscape, from dramatic drop-offs to serene lagoons.
Advanced Adventure: This expedition is designed for seasoned divers seeking to escape the beaten path and embrace the spirit of true exploration.
